In that clip its mentioned that UW-Eau Claire professor Kelly D. Biers, was getting involved.

"They are recording conversations between speakers of Walloon, so they can study the language. The goal to create a written version of the Wisconsin dialect. Then create teaching materials for grade school children within the Southern Door school district. Making sure even that even if nobody is going to be speaking it on a regular basis, that we have some sort of record of it."
